tooth cap
Enamel replacement piece
A tooth cap is a dental crown—a protective covering fitted over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape and function.
The term emphasizes the cap-like fit over the existing tooth structure: The dentist recommended a tooth cap after the root canal.
Caps may be made of porcelain, metal, or composite materials.
